Please let this tree stand! Like other large trees, it helps to reduce stormwater runoff to our local tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay, reduces greenhouse gases in our atmosphere, and absorbs particulate pollution--all environmental problems for which our society is seeking expensive engineered solutions. This tree quietly does it all for free, in addition to beautifying the neighborhood and reminding us of our history.

The beauty of the neighborhood and our community would be negativitly affected by tearing down such and treasured tree. It has been here longer than all of us and should not be torn down.

Please find an alternative plan to develop the property. The tree is amazing. It was heartbreaking to see two trees in our Penrose neighborhood I often admired destroyed to build new homes.

You should be able to creatively build around a tree.

"This tree is special. And even if it wasn't, I've seen the terrible damage done by removing stately trees in development--you can't get it back. It's better to build around nature than destroy it; ultimately nature keeps us all alive."

Canopy trees increase property values.

Surely a tree as notable as this one would be an asset, not a detriment, to new homes. Please do not remove something that is irreplaceable. The new owners and the neighborhood deserve better.

I was worried about that magnificent tree when I saw they were tearing down the house. It would be hardbreaking to lose it!

Please save the 200 year old Oak on the corner of 27th and Nottingham St. in Arlington. Too many historic landmarks are being destroyed in Arlington to make way for big money businesses and homeowners.
